Reversible Dump Bucket

Reversible Dump Bucket TRACTORS Loaders 27-1-35 This new 3-pt. mounted dump bucket is equipped with 3-pt. brackets on the front and back so it can be reversed, allowing you to use it in either direction. "It's like having a front-end loader on back of your tractor," says inventor Jack Sheperson of Gravel Switch, Ky. The patent pending Humdigger measures 6 ft. wide, 17 in. high, and 24 in. deep. The tractor's 3-pt. hitch is used to raise or lower the bucket, while a built-in hydraulic cylinder is used to tilt it up or down. "You can use it as a mini dozer to push or dig material; as a grader blade with the bucket tilted to grade, level or fill in holes; or as a scoop to haul dirt, gravel, etc. It actually works better than a front-end loader because it doesn't put stress on the tractor's front axle. The hydraulic dump feature is really handy and eliminates the need to fight with a manual trip lever. Sells for $890. A 5-ft. model is also available and sells for $850.
